Chapter 1122: Surrender
Although Ashikaga Yoshimoto has no power in Japan, he is not stupid. How could he not turn to a more favorable choice for him when measuring the pros and cons?
Compared to being under the control of people like Yoshihiko Ouchi, Yoshikazu Ashikaga was more willing to defect to Ye Chunqiu.
Although Ye Chunqiu sometimes shows a noble attitude in front of him, he can show his amiable side just right. Although Ye Chunqiu is ruthless when making profits, even Ashikaga Yoshikazu feels a little embarrassed, on the other hand, when you think the other party is too cruel, you are willing to give some sweetness, such as setting a guarantee.
For the shogunate, this was obviously an extremely favorable condition, so Ashikaga Yoshiki accepted Ye Chunqiu's conditions without hesitation.
This peace talk seemed very pleasant, so the order of the General of the Conquest of the Wild was quickly passed to the islands of Japan.
After receiving the order, Daming Ming was shocked and suspicious. Now the General of the Conquering Yi summoned everyone to go to Washi. It was obviously the instruction of the Ming fleet.
The tragic situation of wave speed has already spread all over the world. They already have an instinctive fear of the Ming fleet, but if they don’t go, it will not only violate the shogunate orders, but also seem to give the Ming fleet an excuse to conquer.
Under such circumstances, it seems that there is only a choice that must be chosen.
What’s even more rare is that the order of General Conquering Yi is very tough this time. Within ten days, you must reach the remote area with a speed of wind and a distance of five days.
The islands in Japan are not big, so this time is barely enough, but many people are suspicious and afraid, but they are a little afraid to go.
The general's order was worded with an undeniable meaning, which was obviously the first time that the general of the Conquering Yi was so determined.
The first one to set off was the three major tribes of Spo, Hosokawa and Katsuyama in Kyoto, and then defended them. Many Daimyos from Kinki also set off one after another. After all, the Ming fleet was not far from them, and they were still carrying them, which was really a dying act.
Someone took the lead, so other great names began to take shape.
The speed of waves in this ruins has begun to arrive.
In fact, when the nobles and daming arrived here came here, they realized that reality was even more terrifying than those rumors. The entire wave speed seemed to have experienced a collapse, and had long been beyond recognition, leaving only traces of prosperity. There were cannon pits and broken fires everywhere, and the survivors hid under the broken walls and ruins. They only built a simple shed. Whether they were nobles, merchants, or civilians at the bottom, they were now ragged and mixed.
Some civilians were driven to clean up the place. They dug big holes, discarded countless bodies, and buried them with soil.
But here, it was so strange that even a familiar samurai and a sage guard had never seen it, as if the Takeda family had never existed in this world. The entire family was wiped out, and there was no evidence of existence between his retainers and his guards.
This place is known as the second second only to Kyoto. The Takeda family was once prominent. The retainers brought by Daimai are now starting to inquire about it, and the news they learned from many survivors is even more terrifying.
Everything is exactly the same as the rumors, but seeing the reality is even more profound.
They seemed to have seen that terrible experience with their own eyes. In just half an hour, the Ming fleet was like the help of the gods, which triggered the fire. Then the waves were swept into the rain of fire. Countless bodies remained, countless houses and temples collapsed, and nearly 70% of the people in the city and the guards here were killed and injured in just half an hour.
Nearly 20,000 people disappeared silently in that short period of time.
Looking at the messy scene of destruction and the description of the survivor, it made people feel numb from the scalp, and then the daimyos settled down. Even the Shimazu clan, who usually likes to talk big, is now silent.
There were no houses for them to stay here, so they could only be arranged in temples on the mountain, which were not destroyed. However, nearly two hundred great names, plus their entourage, obviously, it was a little unpleasant to live there. Even the food was only some dry food sent from the boat, which tasted bad and was very bad.
But no one complained.
When the general Ashikaga Yoshikata came to visit everyone, Ashikaga Yoshikata, who was once neglected, suddenly became a hot commodity in everyone's eyes. Obviously, in everyone's eyes, the general who existed like a puppet at the time has now become a bridge for communication with the Ming fleet.
Now everyone is speculating on the Ming Dynasty's intentions. After all, the current situation is really bad. There is absolutely no Daming who dares to pat his chest to ensure that he can live a good life without disobeying the orders of the Ming fleet.
Surrendering to the strong is the most basic quality. After all, for daimyos, everything is acceptable, but what cannot be accepted is that the thousands of years of family business was destroyed. Just like the Takeda clan, it did not leave any trace and disappeared. This obviously gave them the greatest warning.
Ashikaga Yoshitaya's heart was touched at this moment. It can be said that he had never enjoyed the feeling of being so popular with the stars as he is now. He showed the majesty of the general of the Conquering the Wild for the first time, and knelt high on the top of the temple. Every etiquette they usually met when they met the general was kneeling on the left and right, but the cold eyes in the past were now more obedient.
Ashikaga Yoshitao first ordered people to read out the order of the Shinguo Mansion. From today on, the Japanese generals who conquer the Japanese will be protected by the Shinguo Mansion. Any remarks that are dissatisfied with the general or lip service to the shogunate will be regarded as rebellion of the Japanese.
After hearing this, everyone took a breath, but they were speechless.
Ashikaga Yoshitaya looked at everyone, with an inadvertent smile on his face.
This was such a pleasant thing. Not long ago, I was just a doll, but now I seem to have begun to contact power. Although I only touched a little lightly, it reminded him of the glory of his father and grandparents.
In fact, for Ashikaga Yoshikata, it is not embarrassing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. His ancestors were once named King of Japan by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty.
